Apparently, President Barack Obama is as confident of a compliant press regarding his lies about Ukraine as President George W. Bush was confident of a compliant press regarding his lies about Iraq. Only time will tell whether or not that expectation is warranted, as it was in 2002 and 2003.

(Note: Inasmuch as America’s press are rampantly passing off to the American public “pro-American” — actually pro-regime — propaganda about the civil war in Ukraine and the Obama Administration’s role in it, the links to all of the sources for this news report are here provided to supply the documentation; and, any question regarding the documentation within those linked-to sources is provided within that given source’s links, so that the reader can check out the ultimate facts independently of what is reported either here, or else in such “news” sources as the New York Times and the White House.)

This is Eric Zuesse. Thanks for that Spiegel editorial. Unfortunately, it has no links (and so is hostile to open-minded readers who want to check everything out), and it ignores the documentation from non-Russian sources that Obama was behind the coup, and that the four leading parties that Obama installed in Kiev include two that are neo-Nazi and two that are merely fascist, but nothing to the “left” of the Koch brothers in the U.S., and it also ignores much else that gives the lie to U.S. press accounts, such as in the New York Times.

Keep on being satisfied with being deceived, but then keep quiet about it.

Both sides, and their foreign patrons, lie so much in and about this gang-war in the Ukraine I’d want to see some video of burned-out neighborhoods before I credited this “firebombing”.

By the way, it’s easy to determine if white phosphorus has been burned. It leaves phosphorus.

“the February 22nd overthrow of the democratically elected Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was engineered in Washington”

Anti-Ukrainian and anti-Russian “Regime change” developing into a bloody finale.
